The interest in belite (Ca2SiO4 + impurities or dopants) phase increases significantly since new types of clinkers based essentially on this become promising alternatives to Portland clinker for reducing CO2 emission. Belite is also as a biomedical cement. For the cement industry, stabilization β-polymorph essential γ-polymorph has no hydraulic activity. In order understand mechanism stabilizat...

Purpose: Determining whether implantation of an expandable titanium mesh cage (Osseofix® system) is a successful and safeminimally invasive therapy for osteoporotic and tumorous vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Materials and Methods: 32 patients (25 women, 7 men, mean age 71) with 46 osteoporotic or tumorous VCFs (T6 to L4) from June 2010 to January 2012 were included. All of them were s...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) could achieve rapid pain relief for older patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Bone cement in PKP was the key factor keeping the stabilization of the vertebral body. However, the same amount of cement can distribute differently in a vertebral body and can thereby result in different surgery outcomes. Therefore, the volume ...

Fly ash is a waste produced in coal-fired thermal power stations. It has pozzolanic properties and can therefore be stabilized to achieve higher strength and durability required for use as pavement substructure specifically as subbase or base layer material. The stabilization of fly ash can be achieved by adding either cement, lime or other materials. Stabilization of fly ash with available ind...
